Cop sued for drawing gun on a man filming him - Gunnar Ozuna Period 6

"Officer David Rodriguez was placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation by officials from Rohnert Park, a city about 50 miles north of San Francisco. But his job was restored after the police department said the law enforcement official did nothing wrong. The video of the incident went viral and has been seen nearly half a million times on YouTube alone. The incident, in which Rohnert Park resident Don McComas and the officer were both filming each other, underscores that we are indeed living in a YouTube society—one in which there is distrust between the public and police, and one where footage speaks louder than words."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           This is another example of unnecessary police violence against civilians. This can be compared to so many recent examples. Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, all the Ferguson riots. There needs to be new policies set in place to prevent police from doing things like this.
